When I’m sixty-four

Posted on September 13, 2016 by Patti_is_knittinginflashes

This day seemed like a long time away way back then… Happy Birthday to the man I love!

When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I’d been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I’m sixty-four?

You’ll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I’m sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it’s not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck & Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I’m sixty-four?
Ho!

Little Miss Muffet

No tuffet sitting here. Nope.

Beautiful tuffet kit available here: http://tuffetsource.com/

Awhile ago I was in a hurry to go outside to do one little thing so I didn’t bother putting my socks on first.

I heard a crunch and felt something. This was inside the toe of my garden boot.

And I discovered it the hard way.

With my toes.

Believe me when I say that it is dead. I used tweezers to uncrumple the legs so you could see it better.

You’re welcome.

Dirty needles

No, I’m not talking about hypodermic needles.

Dirty knitting needles.

These were from iPad Aunt’s house and since I’m the most avid knitter in the heirs, I brought them home with me. They felt a little sticky so I soaked them in some soapy water, dried them off and wiped them down with alcohol. Rubbing alcohol.
